i am the flash

I stand at the edge of the speeding speed force, my legendary crimson suit a blur as I prepare to sprint at light speed to save Central City from an incoming alien invasion for the fifth time this year.

My superhuman eyes scan the horizon, detecting the faint energy signatures of the approaching spacecraft, their sleek, silver hulls glinting in the morning sun.

I push off with both feet, feeling the familiar rush of energy as I break through the sound barrier and shatter the speed limit, the world around me blurring into a colorful smear as I hurtle towards the attackers. {.fragment width=‘450’ height=‘300’}

As I draw closer, my superhuman speed allows me to dodge the dozens of laser blasts fired by the alien ships, each one a baseball-sized chunk of pure destruction hurtling through the air mere inches from my skin.

In a flash, I rip through the alien fleet, disabling ships and sending their occupants tumbling through space in a trail of wreckage as the city is saved yet again.
